BUSINESS ONE STOP-SHOP

         From January 2 to 20, 2013 business owners from the lowly sari-sari store to big corporations flocked to the lobby of the City Hall Building for the annual Business One Stop Shop (BOSS). BOSS is an public service innovation introduced by the late DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo when he was still a Local Chief Executive in Naga. 

        This year the process of serving a business permit was streamlined to five steps, which are: (1)Serve business application at the Business Permit and License Office (BPLO), (2) Submit the business application with all the requirements at (BPLO) and seek for assesment of all fees and taxes, (3) Pay and serve the Fire Safety Inspection Certification/Clearance, (4) Pay all fees and taxes including arrears and seek the City Treasurer’s clearance/approval and lastly (5) Submit  all   documents    and    Official Receipts to (BPLO) and receive the Mayor’s Permit and Business Plates. The BOSS also includes the renewal of Tricycle Franchises in the city. 

        Representatives of each of the thirteen barangays have also set up shop at the lobby on the duration of the BOSS to fast track the process and ensure that the objectives of BOSS are met.   

          For 2013, the table below present a  much clear picture of the increase in business in the city for the (BOSS) period of January 2 to 2013.
